Re: Obama's Approval Rating Drops to Lowest Ever, According to Gallup

It has nothing to do with my feelings. It's the country's feeling that they aren't happy with the way things are going, but they think that Republicans would make things even worse.

Way too early to talk about the Republican candidates for President but not too late to talk about what is actually happening. The country is headed in the wrong direction after 2 years of liberalism. 26% of the people still don't get it.

Re: Obama's Approval Rating Drops to Lowest Ever, According to Gallup

I would be happy to accept a GOP Congress as long as it was willing to raise taxes and cut spending and pass other Democratic policies.

Well that's not going to fit their agenda which is to bring Demcorats' policies to a grinding halt, even if it hurts the country. Kind of like what they did with raising the debt ceiling.

Do they care that the Dow is down some 1700 points since they held the nation hostage over the debt ceiling? No, of course not. Just look at Conservative who celebrates losing money in the stock market because it hurts Obama. That's insane ... but that's what it is.

If you want to blame the Congress for any current problem with the economy, do you agree that Republicans are completely responsible for the lose of America's AAA rating and the recent crashing of Wall Street?

Another liberal who doesn't have a clue. The fiscal year of the U.S. Govt. runs from October to September. The .4% GDP growth was for October 2010 to December 2010 the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Amazing how the GOP took control of THE HOUSE ONLY in January 2011 but are responsible for the October-December 2010 results? How does control of ONE HOUSE cause the AAA Rating to decline and didn't Obama inherit a AAA rating from Bush?

You're new here so I'll break it down for you in a nutshell ... Conservative never blames anything bad on Republicans or Conservatives ... he always searches for the nearest Democrat he can find to point the finger of blame at.

Believe me, I know. I honestly think that there are many conservatives who would rather see the country plunged into a depression and Obama lose than see Obama reelected and the economy stage a strong recovery.

I have actually enjoyed having you prove how intellectually dishonest liberals are. It is a failed ideology that is going to take time to totally destroy but it is being destroyed not by conservatives but by actual liberal results.

I see. What was I thinking trying to point out the cognitive dissonance in their comments.

You are so right, results don't matter to a liberal as ideology trumps reality

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 39% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings and now 26% supporting his handling of the economy

Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the second quarter of 2011,
(that is, from the first quarter to the second quarter), according to the "advance" estimate released by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 0.4 percent.

Cries a Conservative who voted to give Bush four more years while posting some worse results than Obama ... like unemployment, which Bush lost 3.2 million jobs at this point compared to Obama losing 2.3 million jobs.

Results don't matter to you when a Republican president is up for re-election -- why do you think anyone cares that results only matter to you now because a Democrat is up for re-election. And it's not even about results, it's only about political party as you proved when you voted to remove Clinton from office despite a robust economy during his first 3 years and 9 months in office.
